"When we are out traveling on mast and other trips, we tour continually for 15 to 20 days with no regular and proper food or rest. So when you feel like sleeping, sleep. Don't try to remain awake; do not allow thoughts to disturb you. Try to sleep. If not, don't worry and take my name!"
Baba concluded, "I want to clear up some points regarding my work. I do not like the way it is being carried out at present."
As asked by Baba, Eruch narrated every point that had been stated to the Gujarati group.
After this, Baba stated he had received letters and telegrams from his women lovers in Delhi, Dehra Dun and central and South India all inquiring, "Why this partiality? You send only for the men and not the women. Why can't separate arrangements for women be provided?" In response, Baba commented:
To me there is nothing like men or women. I am beyond everything. But when you differentiate between male and female, why shouldn't women also be given an opportunity for darshan? The trouble is that the women would come with their children, and naturally the husbands would also follow. Hence, a gathering like that is out of the question. Pendu would have to build a hut for every family!
You are here now while your wives look after the children and other matters. If they bring the children here, they will naturally have to be attentive to them and hence have sahavas only of their children — with whom I will play! Apart from this, there is the difficulty of traveling. You can put up with hardships, discomforts in accommodation and food, but with women it is different.
I have no objection at all to giving sahavas to women. I have thought about it — just a thought, no promise! After the sahavas, if I have time in December, I may visit different places for only a day to give darshan to women. Don Stevens has also been told the same about the women in the West. I will be away from the mandali from the 15th of February. It all depends on my engagements. I might not even go to the West. In India, I may visit Andhra, Hamirpur, M.P. [Madhya Pradesh], Bombay, only for a day to give darshan exclusively to women. If this is fixed, I will intimate you.
